Tips from the community

The Motor City is famous for its cars, Motown, techno music, and rapper Eminem. Home to Motown Records from 1959 to 1972, the famous recording studio where Stevie Wonder and other music legends recorded their songs, Detroit became the birthplace of Motown, a distinct style of rhythm and blues music. Learn about the history of Motown at the Motown Museum and visit United Sound Systems Recording Studios, the first major, independent music studio in the U.S.

Detroit has a bad rap, but there is so much character to the city. It's the birthplace of Motown, which is highly celebrated, and you'll find authentic Greektown, performing arts, professional sports, and even casinos!
